Encoded Designs To Publish Expanded & Revised Iron Edda RPG

August 4, 2017— BUFFALO, NY: Encoded Designs announced today that it has signed a licensing agreement with Tracy Barnett to publish a revised and expanded edition of his Fate-based tabletop RPG, Iron Edda.

“This is a great opportunity for both Tracy and Encoded Designs,” said Encoded Designs President Phil Veccione. “Iron Edda is a unique campaign setting that combines Norse myth with epic action through the Fate system. It’s Pacific Rim meets Vikings with a dash of Skyrim.”

“I’ve fell in love with Norse myth when I first began working on Iron Edda,” said Tracy Barnett. “The idea of humans potentially giving up their place in mythical Valhalla to have a chance to fight back against a Ragnarok no one expected is something that really speaks to me. There are epic battles between the bonebonded humans and the dwarven destroyers, but under it all it’s human stories that drive the game. What are you willing to sacrifice? What are traditions worth to you? What is the price of power?

“Encoded Designs is a great company and I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with them. Being able to have such a strong partnership means that I get to focus on the writing and revision work that means so much to me. Iron Edda is dear to me, and I’m thrilled that Encoded Designs wants to help me do more with it.”

Encoded Designs is planning to bring the finished text of the game to Kickstarter in the summer of 2018.
